SEV Biblia, Chapter 21:35
Mas los labradores, tomando a los siervos, al uno hirieron, y al otro mataron, y al otro apedrearon.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 21:35
Verse 35. Beat one] edeiran, took his skin off, flayed him: probably alluding to some who had been excessively scourged. Killed another, &c.] Rid themselves of the true witnesses of God by a variety of persecutions.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 35. And the husbandmen took his servants , etc.] They seized and laid hold of them in a rude and violent manner: so far were they from treating these servants with respect, as they ought to have done; considering whose they were, from whom they came, and upon what account; and also so far from delivering to them the fruit due to their master, or excusing their inability to make a suitable return, as might be expected, they use them very roughly: and beat one ; either with the fist, as Jeremiah was struck by Pashur, the son of Immer, the priest, one of these husbandmen, ( Jeremiah 20:1,2) and as Micaiah was smitten on the cheek by Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, the false prophet, ( 2 Chronicles 18:23) or with a scourge, and may refer to the punishment of beating with forty stripes, save one, by which the skin was flayed off; as the word here signifies; for some of these servants had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, ( Hebrews 11:36).
And killed another; that is, with the sword. There were four kinds of death in the power of the sanhedrim, of which this is one, and what follows is another; and were these, stoning, burning, killing (i.e. beheading with the sword), and strangling: the manner of executing this punishment here expressed, was this: They cut off the persons head Pyysb , with a sword, in the manner the government orders it. R. Judah says, this is indecent (i.e. to cut off his head standing, they do not do so), but they put his head upon a block, and cut it off with an axe; they reply to him, there is no death more abominable than this f1159 .
So the prophets, in the time of Elijah, were killed with the sword, ( Kings 19:14) see also ( Daniel 11:33). And stoned another ; as they did Zechariah, ( 2 Chronicles 24:21) and doubtless many others; since Jerusalem had the character of killing the prophets, and stoning them that were sent unto her, ( Matthew 23:37) these seemed such that were stoned, but not killed; but as Mark says, were wounded in the head with the stones thrown at them, and shamefully handled, and sadly abused.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 33-46 - This parable plainly sets forth the sin and ruin of the Jewish nation and what is spoken to convict them, is spoken to caution all that enjo the privileges of the outward church. As men treat God's people, the would treat Christ himself, if he were with them. How can we, i faithful to his cause, expect a favourable reception from a wicke world, or from ungodly professors of Christianity! And let us as ourselves, whether we who have the vineyard and all its advantages render fruits in due season, as a people, as a family, or as separat persons. Our Saviour, in his question, declares that the Lord of the vineyard will come, and when he comes he will surely destroy the wicked. The chief priests and the elders were the builders, and the would not admit his doctrine or laws; they threw him aside as despised stone. But he who was rejected by the Jews, was embraced by the Gentiles. Christ knows who will bring forth gospel fruits in the use of gospel means. The unbelief of sinners will be their ruin. But God has many ways of restraining the remainders of wrath, as he has of making that which breaks out redound to his praise. May Christ becom more and more precious to our souls, as the firm Foundation an Cornerstone of his church. May we be willing to follow him, thoug despised and hated for his sake __________________________________________________________________

21:35 {They will reverence my son} (entrapesontai ton huion mou). Second future passive from entrepw, to turn at, but used transitively here as though active or middle. It is the picture of turning with respect when one worthy of it appears.
